Fertility Support

You may benefit from taking a fertility supplement if you and your partner have been trying for a baby for a while, but have been unable to conceive.

Fertility Support contains ingredients that have been specifically chosen by a CNHC-registered nutritionist to help maintain healthy sperm and normal reproduction. What’s more, it also contains nutrients that support your general wellbeing and protect cells from oxidative stress (damage to cells caused by free radicals).

To take Fertility Support, swallow two capsules a day with a glass of water.

The capsules can be taken in divided doses (e.g. one capsule in the morning and one in the evening) or both at once. We recommend taking them in divided doses with meals to ensure the best absorption.

The time it takes for Fertility Support to take effect will vary from person to person. Like most supplements, it can take some weeks for the beneficial effects of fertility supplements to build. Therefore, we recommend using Fertility Support for a minimum of 12 weeks for the best results.

As with any dietary supplement, it’s best to consult your doctor before taking Fertility Support to ensure it’s safe for you to use.

Likewise, if you are about to have surgery, are taking prescribed supplements or medication, or are under regular medical supervision, then also consult your doctor before taking Fertility Support.

You can help maximise your chances of conceiving by:

• Having regular sex (every 2 or 3 days).
• Having sex around the time your partner ovulates (when an egg is released from the ovary).
• Taking a fertility supplement. Fertility supplements are packed with nutrients chosen to support fertility, so they are an ideal option to consider when trying to conceive.

Fertility Support is suitable for men aged 19 and above who are trying for a baby. It is not suitable for women or children.

There are a number of lifestyle practices you can adopt to help maintain your natural fertility:

• Moderate your alcohol consumption and stop smoking.
• Stay in good shape, exercise regularly and have a healthy, balanced diet.
• Try to maintain the ideal sperm temperature. The ideal temperature for sperm production is around 34.5C, which is slightly below body temperature (around 37C). This is why the testicles are situated outside of the body - to stop them “overheating”. If your job involves working in a hot environment, take regular breaks outside. If you sit still for long periods, get up and move around regularly. You may want to wear loose-fitting underwear (such as boxer shorts) while trying to conceive, as wearing tight underwear is thought to increase testicle temperature by up to 1C.
• Avoid certain recreational drugs, such as cannabis, cocaine, anabolic steroids, amphetamines and opiates (like heroin and methadone).
• Stay relaxed. Stress can lower your sex drive (libido), which may reduce how often you have sex. Severe stress may also limit sperm production.
• Maintain a healthy weight. Studies have found that overweight and obese men are more likely to have low sperm counts or a lack of viable sperm compared with men who weigh less.

Two of the best vitamins to take for fertility are zinc and selenium. Zinc supports normal fertility and reproduction, and selenium contributes to normal spermatogenesis (the process in which new sperm are created in the testes).

Fertility Support contains both zinc and selenium to give you the complete nutritional support you need when trying to conceive, as well as a host of other nutrients to help maintain overall health (which is also essential when trying for a baby).

Erectile dysfunction does not have a direct impact on sperm count because the process of getting an erection is not related to the process of generating sperm. However, erectile dysfunction may make trying for a baby more difficult because the inability to stay erect during sex can make it harder to penetrate and ejaculate inside of a partner.

If erectile dysfunction is getting in the way when trying to conceive, taking an erectile dysfunction treatment before sex is likely to help.

Sildenafil, for example, is clinically proven to reduce the symptoms of ED and stimulate harder, longer-lasting erections. It can increase the time you’re able to stay erect so that you can successfully ejaculate inside of your partner. Lastly, research has shown that Sildenafil 100mg (the strongest dose) does not affect sperm count, sperm density, or sperm motility (the movement of sperm), meaning that taking sildenafil before sex is unlikely to have a negative impact on fertility.

No. Fertility Support is a supplement for fertility, not for erectile dysfunction.

On the whole, fertility supplements are unlikely to reduce the symptoms of erectile dysfunction because the process of getting an erection is different to the process of generating sperm.

However, if you’re in need of an erectile dysfunction treatment, treatments such as sildenafil and tadalafil are effective and are clinically proven to help erections stay harder for longer.
